DC's New 52: Reviews and Discussion (Spoilers welcolme and likely)

I doubt very much that Clark & Lois will never date again. Sure they might not have any plans for it to happen in the near future, but I have no doubt that either they will change their minds eventually, or one of the next writers for JL will get them together. It's been such a huge part of the mythology for so long that I find it very hard to believe it will never happen again.

Lois and Clark are "THE" comic book relationship. To suggest that they'll never date or that there'll never be an attraction or flirtations and such there is just stupid. It may not be planned now because they want to this decades old fan-service of having Supes and WW together but sooner or later Lois and Clark will be an "item" in some fashion again.

I mean, it's Lois Lane and Clark Kent! There's no other couple in the history of fiction more destined to always be together no matter what.

I have to admit...I'll be getting Justice League #12 tomorrow. I'm curious about this and it has a lot of potential if done right. I liked their paring in "Kingdom Come" and as mentioned in the article they've had an interesting romantic past.

Meh, I'll read spoilers for it. I just can't bring myself to pick up this book again until a new team takes it over.

I'm almost convinced that the tragic event that brings them together is the death of Hal Jordan. We know a Lantern will die in Green Lantern Annual tomorrow, and the end of Green Lantern #12 had Black Hand reading from the book of black that Hal Jordan will be the greatest Black Lantern. Unless of course, all these clues are one big fakeout. Right now, though, it looks like Hal's number is up, and the main Green Lantern title will be taken over by the new guy. That would actually be a pretty bold move for them only one year into their big reboot. It would also mean that Geoff Johns would have overseen the resurrection and second death of Hal, interestingly enough. Also, the fact that Van Schiver is doing the art on this one could potentially be another clue. Van Schiver drew Rebirth, and bringing him on to draw Annual #1 could be meant as bringing things full circle.

Of course, this is still speculation, and come tomorrow I could be proven completely wrong.

I was surprised by how much seemed to actually happen in Justice League 11, now that I've caught up. The thing that's stuck with me most of the odd assertion that Malcolm Gladwell and Stephen King are influential contemporary authors, along woth Doris Lessing (not that I object to Lessing, but the name doesn't immediatey leap to mind). A great deal happens in JL 12, but it feels a little forced.

But it is an organic narrative compared to whatever the heck happened in Justice League International's annual. Hoo boy. The kiss was televised? By who? A major event happens to Blue Beetle in another title altogether? I think this might be the first mention of Rip, and a future Booster implies that a Booster was still flipping around solving time problems even if the one in JLI was not. OMAC has a new daddy.

Isn't the author who wrote the book on the Justice League supposed to be hinted at some major role? Again, I'm not reading, just pure speculation on what I remember from the opening arc. Haven't got the issue yet.
